title: Paracoccidioidomycosis in a boy infected with HIV.
abstract: Paracoccidioidomycosis has been rarely reported among HIV patients, despite being an endemic mycosis in Latin America. The present report illustrates a case of PM in a teenager infected with HIV. Clinicians must be aware that this mycosis may occur in young HIV infected patients who live in endemic areas.
